Odds from two independent community counts (DigitalTQ 1,004 packs, Coded Yellow 72 packs); no retailer-scale study has been published for this set. The darker bar is the low end of the range and the lighter bar runs to the high end. Odds for a single card assume every card of its rarity is equally likely.

What makes Brilliant Stars different
Brilliant Stars came out in English on 25 February 2022. Most of its cards were first printed in Japan in Star Birth, released on 14 January 2022, with others taken from Start Deck 100 and VMAX Climax.
It was the first English set with Pokémon VSTAR. Arceus, Charizard, Shaymin and Whimsicott led the launch, and each player may use only one VSTAR Power in a game, which made the choice of when to spend it part of every match.
The Trainer Gallery and the alternate arts
The set holds 216 cards in three runs: 172 in the main list, 14 secret rares numbered 173/172 to 186/172, and a 30-card Trainer Gallery numbered TG01 to TG30. The Trainer Gallery debuted here, pairing Pokémon with the Trainers who raise them, and its Umbreon, Sylveon and Mimikyu cards are among the most wanted outside the main list.
Only four alternate arts sit inside the main numbering: Charizard V at 154/172, Lumineon V at 156/172, Honchkrow V at 162/172 and Arceus V at 166/172. Each has a standard full art twin printed one number earlier, so check the number before you value a pull.
Brilliant Stars products and release dates
The booster box holds 36 packs. The standard Elite Trainer Box holds 8 packs with 65 Arceus card sleeves, and the Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box holds 10, two more than the standard box. All three were released on 25 February 2022.
Pokémon Center exclusives don't come back once allocation closes, so sign up for drop alerts to hear about the next ones, or open the pull rate calculator set to Brilliant Stars to see what a box or an ETB should give you.
Brilliant Stars questions
What is the most valuable card in Brilliant Stars?
The alternate art Charizard V, 154/172, tops the ranking above, which refreshes daily. The ranking above shows the Trainer Gallery Umbreon VMAX, TG23/TG30, behind it.
How many cards are in Brilliant Stars?
216 in total: 172 main cards, 14 secret rares from 173/172 to 186/172, and the 30 Trainer Gallery cards numbered TG01 to TG30.
When was Brilliant Stars released?
25 February 2022 in English. Its main Japanese source set, Star Birth, came out on 14 January 2022.
What are the Brilliant Stars pull rates?
A Trainer Gallery card turns up about once in 8 to 9 packs and a full art V or Trainer about once in 18 to 20. The table above rests on two community counts of 1,004 and 72 packs; TCGplayer has also published figures from its own count of more than 10,000 packs.
What are the odds of pulling the alternate art Charizard V?
Neither count behind the table reports the alternate arts as a tier of their own. They sit inside the full art tier, and an equal share of that tier puts any one of them, the Charizard included, at roughly 1 in 378 to 420 packs.
What is the Trainer Gallery in Brilliant Stars?
A 30-card subset numbered TG01 to TG30 that shows Pokémon alongside their Trainers. Brilliant Stars was the first English set to carry it.
How many packs are in the Pokémon Center Brilliant Stars Elite Trainer Box?
Ten, two more than the 8 in the standard Brilliant Stars Elite Trainer Box.
